La Sportiva put on the event at the Klättercentret climbing gym. The unique format of the competition allowed the athletes to collectively project five boulder problems for a day before the competition began. This allowed route setters to create more difficult problems than at many other competitions, where athletes climb routes they have never seen before.

The problems were graded V13 or V14. To compare, in an average World Cup bouldering competition, problems are not normally more difficult than V11 or V12.

McColl and Sharafutdinov had the best showings, with both of the men completing four of the five boulder problems. McColl took first place after he finished the last problem in less tries than Sharafutdinov.
